1970 Map of Bettles A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kanuti River and the Kilolitna River dominate this 1970 landscape, creating an intricate network of wetlands and migratory water bodies in the Alaskan interior. The terrain is defined by a dense cluster of lakes, including the central Kanuti Lake and the nearby Old Dummy Lake, alongside smaller features like Taiholman Lake. These waterways reflect the shifting hydrology of the region, where seasonal changes and low-lying ground dictate the movement of both water and wildlife. A solitary Winter Trail provides the only evidence of overland human transit, cutting through the northern sections of the quadrangle. This route illustrates the reliance on frozen ground for transportation in a territory where traditional permanent roads are absent, favoring travel during the colder months when the surrounding swamps and river plains become navigable.
